Hi everyone,

(don't really know where to post this topic... as i am familiar with php i post it here)

i was wondering what technologies should i consider/use to embed some videos on my website.

do you know if i should use flashplayer or .mov or...
how should i do to make the video stream whilst playing in order to avoid that the user waits until it gets loaded...?

if you have any experience on that, i would be very pleased to hear about it

best regards

Depends on your preferences. Most sites are using flash-based videos, these days. You don't get to control .mov and .avi videos, hence why they're not used so much. I would suggest use .flv files for videos and a flash-based video player. There are a few free ones out there already.

A well-known one is: JW FLV Media Player | LongTail Video | Home of the JW Player

Moved it over to Misc, because it's not language specific.

The conversion can be done using Flash if you have that. Alternatively you can use AVS Video Converter

Glad I could help. I'm learning flash at the moment, and, in a couple of months, I hope to have made my own video player! The ones like JW FLV are so boring to look at :/

Anyway, good luck with your project.

Adobe Flash Player supports flash video with H.264. So you can convert your video to Flash video with H.264 (check free Moyea Video4Web Converter).

I have tried JW, it is AWESOME. But seems that I cannot figure out how to use its plug-ins, its 'read me' file is tedious. I have used another flash video player maker called Moyea web player Pro, it is less popular yet easier to use as its graphical interface.
